I was simply trying to connect the dots for some people as to why autos are percieved to be faster. That's why I concluded my post with "the car isn't good for anything else" as in daily driver. Didn't mean to fire you up.

someone started off on the right track above; something about "winning a category"...the moment you start categorizing this stuff - It just becomes unfair. Because, honestly - much like colors, what one person likes for his/her own reasons, may not be the same thing another person likes. I'm not biased either way....yet.
There is no "winner" in the Auto v/ Manual argument. However, at the risk of sounding somewhat "rainbowy" The very fact that this thread has existed thus far without a firefight is a very strong statement about the people here...You're all winners in my book. Thank you. |

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS!!! I'M FASTER IN MY M6 THAN ANY AUTO OUT THERE!!!
OK, I'm kidding...sheeesh... I say we settle this on the track when we all get out cars...do a meet...go to the track and stock for stock...auto vs manual. I'd be happy to drive the manual. I'm not saying who's going to win... . But, it'd sure be a helluva night! |

Not to continue straying from the original topic, but I can't remember if I already commented regarding this, but stock for stock, I think a manual will be an auto'. I don't recall many magazine articles that have had better performance numbers with autos' but there is just a lot more left to driver error with a manual. I'll be the first to admit driving a manual is more fun, and racing is more still, however, if you put a stalled converter in an auto, it'll whup-up on a manual pretty good. That's not the point, so I digress.
So how about that white Proto'?...
